Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport addresses threat to leisure facilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking<\/a> to the Senedd\u2019s Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee on Wednesday, Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, Dawn Bowden, addressed the widespread threat posed to the sport and leisure sector and its facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost-of-living crisis has, and will continue to, hit the sector hard, increasing costs to the point where closure is a feasible outcome for facilities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This worry has been accentuated by swimming pools\u2019 and other leisure facilities\u2019 recent omission from the UK Government\u2019s Energy Bill Discount Scheme.
Dawn Bowden, however, addressed the concern around the survival of those venues when asked by the Committee<\/a> about the Welsh Government\u2019s assessment of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy officials met with the chief leisure officers of Wales at the end of last year and that was after the local government settlement had been published,\u201d Dawn Bowden explained. \u201cFrom that, we\u2019ve been made aware that there are no imminent threats because of the better-than-anticipated (settlement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have seen some examples already, for instance, of local authorities that had been planning on taking particular actions but come back from having seen their budget allocation; Powys Couty being one question in point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, we\u2019re not aware of any imminent threats to facilities,\u201d she continued, \u201cbut we are very conscious and very aware of the very real threats to the leisure sector \u2013 particularly swimming pools \u2013 and the fact that swimming pools have been left out of the UK Government\u2019s Energy Bill Discount Scheme (is) hugely important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am meeting with Swim Wales to discuss this very issue,\u201d the Deputy Minister revealed. \u201cThis is a critical issue for some of these organisations. We have to try and put pressure in the UK Government, as well, to include swimming pools and leisure facilities into that Energy Bill Discount Scheme because, if we don\u2019t do that, then I think there is a danger of facilities closing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh Sports Association<\/a> (WSA) recognises a severe threat to public, private and community facilities and clubs if support on energy costs isn\u2019t forthcoming. We are already aware of proposals to reduce provision and alter opening hours and fees in many Welsh Local Authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to advocate on behalf of the sector and urge UK Government to review its decision to exclude the sector from its updated list of eligible industries for energy-bill relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WSA also offers services that can support facilities amid the incredibly challenging financial landscape that currently threatens the sector. Our Procurement Portal<\/a>, for example, has already supported grassroots clubs with their energy costs to great effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will also continue to host sector calls to address the situation, having delivered the first recently. Please get in contact<\/a> with the WSA team if you didn\u2019t receive an invitation to the last but would like to attend the next.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
